HBO 2012 Yearender promo provides a few more glimpses of season 3

Last night, HBO also aired a 2012 Yearender promo, highlighting all their current shows and teasing next year’s slate. Included amongst all the footage is a brief glimpse of Dany in front of an army of Unsullied, as well as a close-up of Tyrion, showing his new scar.

Winter Is Coming: That Dany shot looks epic. It is safe to say that the more cinematic approach from last season has carried over into season three.

This guy has misconstrued the quote from D&D. They have always said that their goal was to make it through season 3. Meaning it would be a disappointment if it were cancelled earlier. Because it’s widely accepted that book 3 is the best, I would have to agree. Now that Storm of Swords is essentially being broken into 2 seasons, season 4 is almost a certainty. If you watch the other interviews that came out this fall, you’ll hear them say as much.

As usual, HBO makes another awesome yearend trailer. Song choice is great, clips for all the shows are exciting (Game of Thrones clips are the best). Good choice to use Dany clips because Emilia looks epic in all of them, especially the new one. Last scene gave me chills.

That site should be embarrassed for printing such a bunch of BS. All that quote is alluding to is the fact that Storm of Swords is D&D’s and most other fans’ favorite, so of course that’s the book they were really looking forward to doing.

The reason why Tyrion and Sansa’s wedding is so late next season (in episode 8) is so that The Reines of Castamere can be played at its reception, whereupon viewers will be reminded of how it goes and have its meaning explained to them in the episode immediately before the Red Wedding.

I have to say, this season of Boardwalk Empire, especially after you know who died from last season, was terrific. I rate it better than GOT season 2 (please, don’t hurt me). I hope season 3 of GOT will be better than last season. As someone who read the books, I don’t see how it won’t, especially with so many things happened in SOS and how it’s the best book of the lot.

When the writers said they wanted to film what they thought was an amazing scene in book three I always imagined it was the astapor scene not the rw dany looks a total beast in front of the unsullied in that clip, Fire and Blood can’t wait

I wasn’t paying attention at first and thought this was for GoT-only, and wondered, “What’s Sarah Palin doing in Westeros?”

I think if she were on the show, she’d make Cersei look sane (although, there’s no way she could go toe-to-toe with Tyrion… She couldn’t even handle softball questions from Katie Couric, let alone mind games with the Imp).

I think Season 2 of Game of Thrones was a bit better than Season 3 of Boardwalk Empire, but both were excellent. I actually think (especially after what’s happened to Homeland within the critical community) that Boardwalk Empire is now the leader in the clubhouse for next year’s Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series (even if Breaking Bad remains the best show on television, if it couldn’t win the last couple of seasons, it probably never will). I do anticipate that Game of Thrones is going to have the best overall season, given that we’re into A Storm of Swords now. I’m skeptical that a fantasy show can actually *win* the Emmy, though. I think it’s probably Boardwalk Empire’s year, and I can’t complain too much.

Ignoring books 6 and 7, I believe that seasons 3 and 4 are Game of Thrones’ best shot at the Emmy, as ASoS is the best book so far. If they do it any justice, then season 3 will be the best season of Game of Thrones, and will be a very strong contender for the emmy. Almost all of the storylines will be strong, and aside from Kings Landing, the weak ones will only be minor storylines in the background (such as Dragonstone and Bran)

Season 4 probably has a better chance than season 3 in my opinion. Stannis, King’s Landing, and the Iron islands will have much stronger plotlines, and Dany Jon, and Bran will be just as good. Arya and Jaime will be the only ones worse off. Plus, the loss of Robb’s plotline will make the action much easier to follow, and Season 4 will make the audience happier when things finally start to go wrong for the Lannister’s.

The only problem I see with us winning an Emmy is the competition. This year we have the series finale of Breaking Bad, Homeland is going strong, and the Walking Dead is the best it’s ever been. Next year we’ll have the series finale of Mad Men to deal with. But we’ll see how it goes.

Homeland isn’t going strong. The Walking Dead will never be nominated. And only Breaking Bad’s 8 episode first half of the final season will be up for next year’s Emmy. I think it will come down to Mad Men,Game of Thrones, and possibly Boardwalk Empire for the Emmy, even though I don’t believe Boardwalk Empire is in Mad Men,Breaking Bad, or Game of Thrones’ league.
